# A peeve.

    Why should this happen:

    ;;blah = "foo";blah[2] = "";#2:tell(blah)
    #-1:Input to EVAL, line 3:  Invalid argument
    ... called from built-in function eval()
    ... called from #59:eval_cmd_string (this == #2), line 21
    ... called from #59:eval*-d (this == #2), line 11

    ... I don't know about the rest of you, but I would find it /very/ helpful
    to be able to simply delete a piece of a string. ie, the code above should
    return "fo". I don't know. At least having a verb on $string_utils to do
    this for you would be nice, instead of having to program it myself (or not
    program it, depending on my .wizard property at the given moo.)
    I don't know, just seems like something that would be handy...?
    *shrug* Just a thought.
